Strollers with a handle

Many mothers, choosing a stroller, one of the most important believe the presence of a reversible system of "face to mom - face to the road," that is, more simply, a flip handle.

Benefits

Baby strollers with a flip handle, indeed, have a number of significant advantages:

  1. They ensure the peace of the child. Many children require constant contact with the mother, if not corporal, then at least visual. If your child is just like that, then the stroller with the handle fixed in the "face to road" position may simply be useless: the kid will never want to sit in it, and on a walk you have to roll an empty stroller in front of you, holding a crumb in your arms .
  2. They provide a calm mother. If the child is sitting in the stroller facing you, you control him well, if necessary, you can fix his clothes, in time to notice the toy thrown out of the stroller. Especially convenient is the situation, if your child - from among the fidgets, who also strive to get out of the stroller at full speed.
  3. They provide protection from wind, snow, bright sun. If your stroller has a flip handle, then the choice of the route of your walk does not depend on the weather. You do not need to turn around and change the direction of movement if the wind blew from the river or bright sunlight blinds the eyes - just change the position of the handle, unfolding the child in such a way that it does not interfere with weather conditions.

disadvantages

There are children's prams with a handle and their own cons:

  1. The handle can be loosened and broken. This is due to the fact that in the "facing the mother" position, the center of gravity is displaced from the stroller. It is more difficult to operate a stroller in this position, it is difficult to turn. To protect the carriage from breakage, when turning in the "facing the mother" position, it is necessary to lift not the front wheels, but the rear wheels; and it's better to stop on curbs only in the position "facing the road".
  2. The flip handle increases the weight of the stroller.
  3. Not all wheelchair modifications are equipped with a handle. For example, there are no three-wheeled carriages and lightweight wheelchairs-canes with a handle.

Types of prams with a handle

Very common stroller-transformers with a handle. They are in the lines of different manufacturers: Peg Perego, Jetem, Baby Care, Hoco, Hauck, etc. - so you can make a decent choice in any price category.

Many models of universal strollers 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 are also equipped with a flip handle. The strollers 2 in 1 with the handle are popular. Such strollers serve for a long time, since they meet the needs of children of different ages. Up to 6 months the block-cradle is used (during this period the pen, as a rule, does not overturn, as it is simply not necessary). And from 6-9 months (from the moment the child sits), the cradle is replaced with a walking unit. From this time, the possibility of changing the position of the flip handle helps to diversify the walk with the baby and make it more comfortable. To ensure that such a stroller has served all the time allowed to her, you need to remember the above-described features of the stroller control at different positions of the handle.

If you want to buy a lightweight, compact, travelable car, then models with a handle are not suitable for you. There are folding strollers with a folding handle - with a folding mechanism "book" (Capella, Aprica, etc.), but they all weigh at least 7 kg, and the seats take quite a lot even when folded. The best option is not to try and "kill two birds with one stone," but to purchase a lightweight stroller for travel and transportation in the traffic to the other end of the city (if, of course, you are going to do such trips) and, let the heavy but reliable enough stroller with with a handle for long daily walks in the nearest park. You can use this stroller until your baby is 3 years old.
